GUY'S & ST THOMAS' NHS FOUNDATION TRUST

The Trust is one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country with over 2 million patient contacts per year, and employs over 13,600 staff with an annual turnover of £1.3 billion. The Trust is the first organisation in healthcare and the public sector to adopt The Edge as part of a focused drive to design-out process inefficiencies both within the hospital and its wider supply base, and to deliver a radical step-change in system interoperability.

Office Depot

Office Depot is a $17 billion global office supplies retailer that is active in 58 countries with more than 2,000 retail stores. The VS Team has worked collaboratively with Office Depot since 2005, in what has been a long and fruitful partnership. The Edge supports the retailer's Endless Aisle initiative, enabling the easy expansion of existing product assortments while rapidly reducing the time-to-market for new products.

AS A DIRECT RESULT OF OFFICE DEPOT'S COLLABORATION WITH VIRTUALSTOCK, WE HAVE ACHIEVED MULTI-MILLION POUND SAVINGS IN COSTS OF GOODS, INTEGRATED WITH MULTIPLE SUPPLIERS OVER VARIOUS PRODUCT CATEGORIES TO PROVIDE GREATER ORDER STATUS TRANSPARENCY ON DROP SHIP ORDERS, AND INCREASED THE NUMBER OF VIRTUAL SKU'S OFFERED TO OUR CUSTOMERS

TESCO

One of the world's largest and most respected retailers, Tesco is the store of choice for 75 million shoppers every week across 12 different countries. With group sales in excess of £70 billion and with more than 3,000 stores in the UK alone, the FTSE 100 company remains very much committed to delivering an outstanding level of consumer service.

Tesco selected the VS team in April 2013, to support a growing drop ship strategy, enabling the retailer to offer an extended range of online products from a selection of third party suppliers. The Edge was deployed to provide an accurate, consolidated view of all supplier orders and products in one web-based interface.

We work closely with our clients, delivering technology to meet our clients current and future business challenges

DBA

A designer, manufacturer and distributor of branded apparel, French company DBA has an enviable portfolio of 15 household brands. Its globally known brands such as Playtex and Wonderbra are sold through a variety of trade channels including department stores, wholesalers and mail order in the three key geographic areas of Western Europe, Central Europe and Emerging Markets.

In 2012, The Edge was selected to connect a selection of the brand owner's multiple front end web platforms with DBA's internal systems infrastructure – allowing DBA one single, accurate view of all critical business data.

Despite being a registered brand since 1955, it was in the mid-90s that the Wonderbra brand became a global sensation thanks to its famed 'Hello Boys' poster and billboard campaign featuring supermodel Eva Herzigova. The brand has since gone from strength to strength and in March 2008 was named by UK women as the greatest fashion innovation in history.

Founded in 1947, Playtex is a world famous feminine apparel and products brand known for breaking the mould. In 1955 it became the first company to advertise undergarments on national TV and in 1977 it was the first to show a woman wearing only a bra from the waist up in a TV advert. The company was split into two businesses - Playtex Apparel and Playtex Products - in 1988.
